Being ignored

Post Reply New Topic

What does it mean when somebody takes pains to deliberately ignore you?
Several years ago there was a girl who I was on friendly terms with. Then, when I started dating my then-girlfriend, that other girl started ignoring me (and she still does). Whenever we see each other on some occasion, she deliberately doesn't look at me. She'll talk to anyone, including my parents and my little brother (she's on friendly terms with them too), except for me. She did friend me on Facebook, for some reason, although we never PM each other. She ignores me so completely that in a way it almost feels like attention, if that makes sense. What could that kind of behavior mean?

Shes pissed off that your dating someone thats not her.

I sometimes ignore people I like for other reasons, because im too scared to say the wrong thing around them.

She's mad at you and somehow is still mad. Girls (most girls) will remember things for a long period of time and will keep that anger. It's something we do, I don't know why. All I know is that mean she's mad, when I'm angry I will ignore people and fester dislike for them. Yeah... You should just ask her if you haven't, it might unleash something that has been bothering her or something scary.

She could be hurt that you didn't go out with her instead. She could also be embarrassed if she thinks she had expressed an interest in you and you basically turned her down by not returning the attention. Or, she still likes you.

Why don't you ask her? There's no way anyone on an internet site is going to know what her motivations were.

Thanks for the replies. I should probably also mention that before I started dating my gf, I asked this girl what she thought about her and she said she thought she's great and that I should go for it, so I don't know why she would be pissed because of that.

If it was her who added you on Facebook, maybe she wants to talk to you again but doesn't know how after you've not talked for ages. I say you ask her what's wrong on Facebook (it's easier to talk about things via text I find, plus she can't walk off).

If she ignores your message, you should probably just accept she's still angry about something - most likely because she liked you when you went out with the other girl, though since you asked her about the other girl before you asked her out, it's her fault for not telling you how she felt IMO.
